Assemblyman Devon Mathis was reappointed as vice chair of the Agriculture Committee by the speaker of the California State Assembly.

"It's an honor to serve again as the Vice Chair of Ag as I am looking forward to continuing to be an advocate for our farmers, farmworkers, and everyone who enjoys California's world-class Ag products," Mathis said in a statement.

He was also placed on the Transportation, Water Parks and Wildlife, Budget and the Veterans committees for the 2017-2018 session.

"I am also looking forward to working with my colleagues to find long-term solutions to our state's crumbling transportation infrastructure, lack of adequate water storage and distribution, budget deficits, and issues affecting our vets," he added.

Mathis represents California’s 26th Assembly District which includes Tulare, Inyo and a portion of Kern counties.
